Leeds United transfer news: Leeds ‘interested’ in AC Milan target, Inter to ‘secure’ star after Everton links

Time is ticking away before domestic football goes on hiatus for the FIFA World Cup finals later this year and that tournament will be quickly followed up by the January transfer window.

It has the potential to be a busy month for Leeds United following a big summer of ins and outs at Elland Road.

Jesse Marsch’s side are back in action on Sunday, when they face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in their next Premier League fixture, but the club will keep one eye on their next opportunity to bring in new players.
